This page compared the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM to the Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM on a scene which allows across-the-frame and near-to-far sharpness assessment as well as focus shift and field curvature.
Rarely has such a comparison shown how two superb lenses can deliver very different results yet at the same time both can be called excellent. A great example of how a “quick test” could conclude radically erroneous results—that error is avoided here.
